Tobey Maguire has optioned the real life story of Gerald Fraller, who is selling his soul online. Isn't that a Simpsons episode? Didn't it end badly? Also, how is that a movie?

Black Sheep, the mutant carnivore sheep in New Zealand movie, gets a nice little review in Variety. The film will open in […]

Yesterday the Screen Actors Guild announced the winners of it's annual award. Mostly it was exactly what you would expect, with the people that have been winning all the awards (Forest Whitaker, Helen Mirren, Eddie Murphy and Jennifer Hudson) winning yet again. The most interesting bit of the evening was Little Miss Sunshine […]

Quick Hits: The Empire of 300 Thomas

January 26th, 2007 · No Comments

“Thomas Crown 2, for all intents and purposes, will happen,”. That is Pierce Brosnan, putting his foot down. Okay then. ComigSoon calls TC 2 ” highly-anticipated“. I’m not sure who exactly is highly anticipating the sequel to an okay movie with no remarkable characters that made some money ten years ago, but who knows. […]
